A couple of weeks ago we received an award at the ADOT conference when we were named DBE Trailblazer for the first quarter of 2012.   We have been working in the transportation industry for years and there were many familiar faces at the event.  So, I was caught a little off guard at how overwhelmed I was to actually get the award.

As many of you know we recently left the Alphagraphics network, took a new name, and moved in a slightly different direction.  The acknowledgment reminded me of when I was a primary school teacher years ago and how happy students and parents were for any form of positive recognition.

My point is to encourage, support and praise not only your customers/clients but also your staff and support groups.  It seems that rewards are actually a source of good Karma meant to be shared.
